20 Climate Change Will Result in Widespread Transformation of Snowmelt and Transient Watersheds to Rain Dominant Watersheds Mantua, N., I. Tohver, A.F. Hamlet, 2009: Impacts of climate change on key aspects of freshwater salmon habitat in Washington State, (in review)
21 Changes in Hydrologic Extremes
22 Simulated Changes in the 20-year Flood Associated with 20 th Century Warming X / X DJF Avg Temp (C) DJF Avg Temp (C) X / X X / X
23 Summary of Flooding Impacts Rain Dominant Basins: Possible increases in flooding due to increased precipitation intensity, but no significant change from warming alone. Mixed Rain and Snow Basins Along the Coast: Strong increases due to warming and increased precipitation intensity (both effects increase flood risk) Inland Snowmelt Dominant Basins: Relatively small overall changes because effects of warming (decreased risks) and increased precipitation intensity (increased risks) are in the opposite directions.
24 Future Projections of Flood Risk in Washington Floods in western WA are expected to increase in magnitude due to the combined effects of warming and increasingly intense winter storms. Mantua, N., I. Tohver, A.F. Hamlet, 2009: Impacts of climate change on key aspects of freshwater salmon habitat in Washington State, (in review) In other parts of the State, changes in flooding are smaller, and in eastern WA projected reductions in flood risk are common due to loss of spring snow cover.
25 Changes in Low Flow Risks 7Q10 values are projected to systematically decline in western WA due to loss of snowpack and projected dryer summers Mantua, N., I. Tohver, A.F. Hamlet, 2009: Impacts of climate change on key aspects of freshwater salmon habitat in Washington State, (in review)

29 Loss of glacial mass may increase summer flow in the short term and decrease summer flow in the long term.
30 Warming Air Temperatures will Increase Water Temperature Mantua, N., I. Tohver, A.F. Hamlet, 2009: Impacts of climate change on key aspects of freshwater salmon habitat in Washington State, (in review)
31 Sediment Transport
32 Sediment Impact Pathways: Increasing precipitation intensity may increase the severity of extreme events (e.g. mud slides, inundation of public access areas, etc.) Loss of glaciers may mobilize large reservoirs of fine sediments stored beneath them. Loss of snowpack may reduce the armoring effect of the snowpack in moderate elevation areas, leading to increased land slide risk and increased sediment loadings. (conversion of moderate elevation areas from avalanche risk to land slide risk). Changes in forest disturbance patterns, particularly fire, may be important driver of impacts.
33 Adaptation
34 Approaches to Adaptation and Planning Anticipate changes. Accept that the future climate will be substantially different than the past. Use scenario based planning to evaluate options rather than the historic record. Expect surprises and plan for flexibility and robustness in the face of uncertain changes rather than counting on one approach. Plan for the long haul. Where possible, make adaptive responses and agreements self tending to avoid repetitive costs of intervention as impacts increase over time.
